New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday hit only a third of his shots, going 4-for-12 from the floor against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday to finish with 12 points, while also adding 11 assists.

Shabazz Napier Unlikely To Suit Up Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves point/shooting guard Shabazz Napier has been deemed doubtful to play in Sunday’s game against the Denver Nuggets due to a strained right hamstring.

Jeff Teague, Jordan Bell Have Status In Doubt For Sunday

Both Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague and power forward/center Jordan Bell have picked up questionable tags for Sunday’s outing against the Denver Nuggets.

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton will continue his absence during Sunday’s contest versus the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a strained right hamstring.

Ben Simmons Ruled Out for Sunday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This is not surprising news, since Simmons was expected to miss at least three games.

Lonzo Ball is Sitting Out on Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (groin) will sit out of Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Ball played on Friday after being listed as probable, but only scored five points in 23 minutes. The Pelicans are likely just being cautious since it's a back-to-back set. Frank Jackson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker will benefit with Ball […]

Ja Morant Will Rest Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies guard JA Morant (rest) will sit out of Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Taylor Jenkins wants to limit Morant's minutes early in the season.

Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard Alec Burks finished second on his club in scoring during Friday’s overtime defeat to the Minnesota Timberwolves, going for 18 points on 5-for-10 shooting off the bench. Burks continues to pace Golden State’s second unit with injuries severely hampering the roster, as he also added nine rebounds and two blocks […]

D'Angelo Russell Goes For Career-High 52 Points In Defeat

If Friday’s contest is any indication, the remainder of the 2019-20 season is going to be an exciting one for D'Angelo Russell from a personal standpoint. In his first game back after a three-contest absence due to injury, Russell’s usage reached absurd proportions, finishing with a career-high 52 points on 19-for-37 shooting, including going 7-for-17 […]

Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka Ruled Out Due To Injury

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry and power forward/center Serge Ibaka have both been sidelined for the remainder of Friday’s contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to respective injuries.

Justise Winslow Officially Ruled Out for Friday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) has been officially ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Winslow was placed in the NBA's concussion protocol last night, so it's not surprising to see him sitting out here.

Justise Winslow Enters Concussion Protocol

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) has been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol. The team is hopeful that Winslow doesn't miss much time, but fantasy owners shouldn't expect him to play on Friday. Duncan Robinson will likely jump into the starting five, while Goran Dragic and Tyler Herro will get more chances off the […]

D'Angelo Russell is Probable for Friday

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Russell has missed the last three games due to a right ankle issue.

Lonzo Ball Will Suit Up on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball (groin) will be active for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was listed as probable on the injury report, so it's not surprising to see him suiting up here. He's been reliable for the Pelicans through the first seven games of the season. Fantasy owners can go ahead […]

Shabazz Napier is Expected to Sit Out

Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Smith has been away from the team due to a death in the family, but rejoined the Knicks on Thursday. The Knicks don't feel that Smith is ready to play yet, so he'll sit this one […]

Kemba Walker Posts Mediocre Game In Return To Charlotte

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker posted a mediocre stat-line in his return to Charlotte on Thursday evening. This was the 8th-year guard's first game played in Charlotte not wearing a Hornets jersey, and his return was nothing special despite his team picking up the win. Walker scored 14 points on 33% shooting from the field, […]

Devonte' Graham Continues To See Solid Volume

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham has been one of the biggest surprises to start the 2019 season, and he continues to see volume in the Hornets game plan as seen Thursday night.

Dejounte Murray Flirts With Triple-Double In Victory

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray fell short of a triple-double in Thursday's 121-112 victory over the Thunder, totalling 17 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists on 7-for-12 shooting from the field.
